Tulips

This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is Border Time.  Use borders on your project.

I used Tulip Bouquet from Fred She Said Designs for my project.  I thought they were perfect for a springy card.  I used a die that has a pretty hemstitch border and thought it looked like a vintage tablecloth or doily.  The lace and ribbon create a pretty border as well.

Happy Birthday, Cupcake!

This week at Creative Knockouts, we want you to make or use a tag on your project.

I used Birthday Elephant Sitting With a Cupcake from Drawn by Krista for the challenge.  I just happened to have this little cutie printed and colored already!  The image was colored with Copics and cut out using the Silhouette.  The sentiment is from a Spellbinders set that I got free with my kit club order.

Lots of Ladybugs

The new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is anything goes.  I know how you all love an anything goes challenge, so I am limbering up my fingers in anticipation of all of the commenting I will be doing on your lovely projects.

I used Ladybug Stack from Bugaboo Stamps for my project.  I colored the image with Copics and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I bought the flower embellishments ages ago.  They are from Jolee's Boutique and are sort of flexible.  The kind of smell like crayons.  I have no idea what they are made of, but it was the perfect embellishment for this card! 

We have several sponsors this week, so lots of chances to win prizes.  Click the badges below to go to each shop.

Queen for a Day

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here with your dose of MoonFlower inspiration.  For my project I used Gigi Queen.  I thought she looked like a fun challenge.

I loved the idea of a black and gold color palette for Gigi Queen.  Then I decided to throw a pop of teal in there for an accent.  She was colored with Copic markers and I cut her out using the Silhouette.  Her cape was colored with Copics first and then covered with gold Wink of Stella.  Her crown and belt also have gold Wink of Stella. I added some teal embellishments and a gorgeous glass crystal pendant that I found at a yard sale.  I wanted an elegant background paper and I found this awesome embossed paper in the DCWV Bella Armoire stack in my stash.

Do you like challenges?  Would you like the chance to win MoonFlower images?  Planning for a challenge blog is underway and will be going live in the future.  Join the Facebook group to find out when it goes live or watch this blog for more info.

Colorful World

Welcome back to another Rubbernecker Stamps feature.  It is my day to shine on the blog and I have created a colorful friendship card for you.

The stamp and border are from the Freehand Border Phrase stamp set.  I cut them out and matted them with a die to make them the centerpiece of the card.  Some colorful paper and a background stamped with the Springtime Inchies were all it took to make a sweet friendship card.

Don't forget about our challenge.  You can find the link to the current challenge on the blog.  You have a chance at a gift certificate to spend in the shop so come join us.

Thank You!

It is time for the Sweet Sunday post over at Rubbernecker Stamps.  I decided to make a cheerful thank you card this week.

I had this scrap of polka dot paper left over from another project and I thought it would be the perfect starting place for this project.  I pulled out sweet little Clare and colored her with Copic markers to match the paper. The sentiment came from the Best Wishes set which is now available in clear.  You can also get a matching die set to cut it out! 

Rubbernecker Stamps now has a challenge and we would love to see you play along.  You have the chance to win cash to use in the store.  All of the new clear stamps and dies have been released, so some extra cash would be an awesome thing!

The White Queen

Hello MoonFlower fans!  I have an amazing new MoonFlower digital stamp to share with you today.  It is the newest member of the MoonFlower family, Lilly, starring as the White Queen!

I kept to a white and gold color combo.  Her hair didn't turn out quite the way I pictured it, but the White Queen's hair is not easy!!  She was colored with Copic markers, and I will try another time with a different color combo.  I couldn't quite find the right one for the tones of the White Queen's hair.  Her crown and jewelry have gold Wink of Stella for some amazing shimmer and shine.  I also used the gold Wink of Stella pen on the white flower for the perfect touch of sparkle!

Be sure to pop into the MoonFlower Facebook group from time to time!  Andreia previews the new digis and posts the latest MoonFlower news.  You won't want to miss it.

Happy Anything!

Happy Anything is the theme for this month's challenge at Fabrika Fantasy.  You don't have to use a Fabrika Fantasy stamp, but there is always a special prize given from those who do use one.

I used Happy Chipmunk for my project and even though it wasn't intended, the color combo came out a little masculine.  I guess I can put that in the "for a boy" pile!  The little chipmunk was colored with Copic markers and cut out by hand.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Slang Gang set.

I hope you will come play along with us.  Happy Anything is just about as good as anything goes!

Let's Snuggle

This week at Creative Knockouts, the theme is Snow Much Fun.  We want to see your projects with a snowy theme!  What's more fun when it is cold outside than snuggling?!

This is Benson and Betty from Crafty Sentiments Designs.  They certainly are keeping one another warm!  They were colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the background using the Silhouette and the sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I filled and printed.  The machine got a workout on this card!

This week you have a chance to win 3 images from the Crafty Sentiments Designs digital line.  You can click the badge below to pop over and check them out.

Are you ready to make it snow?!

Team Spirit! Go Pack!

The new challenge this week at Meljen's Designs is to use your favorite team colors to create a project.  I grew up in Wisconsin and am a die hard Green Bay Packers fan.  So of course my project had to have green and gold.  It seemed like a great color combo for a little spring pick-me-up and this is what I came up with.

The card is even CAS.  That doesn't usually happen!  I used the Little Layered Flowers Sunburst Daisy and Little Layered Flowers Round Leaf.  You can get both of them in the Little Layered Flowers Set that has a bunch of great flowers.  I colored them with Copics and created dimension with foam.  I am going to add a sentiment above the twine, but I am not sure what I will use this card for at the moment.  I will decide and then stamp the sentiment.
